They lack the refinement of better established and more expensive brands, but if you are building a trad rack on a budget then these functional Czech cams do the job perfectly well, at a price it may be hard to resist, says Tim Hill.
I had the 2 largest sizes of the Axel in the Rock Empire branding (they were identical in every other way). They are brilliant little units and I used them for many years. My only criticisms would be that the colour coding doesn't match what is now considered "standard" and the head width on the largest was a bit too narrow making it slightly less stable.
Due to Kouba being outside the UK and costing more than threshold a set may incur customs/import charge issues and get delayed.
Unless of course people source them from Sgùrr, in which case they're shipped from UK. I'd rather support some UK climbers than pay customs charges and be delayed. https://www.sgurr.shop/
